Nobody cares about the BBC noose, the hostility is from the ground up because they lie so much.

Russians are perfectly able to read and watch whatever they like, they're the largest user base of I2P and the pathetic official attempts at blocking websites is only the Russian version of Feinstein with all the US faux moral labels, ratings, and warnings.

In 1945 the Germans fled westwards. In 2015 the Ukrainians flee eastwards. Is that too subtle for dullards?

It's an old Soviet-era propaganda move, to cause suffering, then offer to help those affected.

Back when they blockaded West Berlin, and saw the airlift starting to succeed, the Soviets offered supplies to any hungry West Berliners who went over and turned-in their ration cards.

Apparently the Ukrainans are less cautious, less skeptical of the aid the Russian government is offering, than the Germans were.

Do we really need to compare the ample human rights in the UK against the murders of journalists in Russia?
